A THOUGHT TO PONDER : purify your heart by Shams of Tabriz "Real filth is the one inside. The rest simply washes off. There is only one type of dirt that cannot be cleansed with pure waters, and that is the stain of hatred and bigotry contaminating the soul. You can purify your body through abstinence and fasting, but only love will purify your heart." ~Shams of Tabriz

Laini Eckardt – feeling of serenity "I have tried to capture the feeling of serenity that washes over you when you first dive into the cool waters of crystal-clear creek or river, silently gliding over the stones…calm, and in a world of your own." ~Laini Eckardt, Artist (Avant Card)
